INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless, cut into 1-inch strips
• 2 medium onions, cut into thin wedges
• 2 cups bok choy, sliced
• 1 cup celery, sliced
• 1 cup carrots, sliced
• 3/4 cup green sweet pepper, chopped
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups brown rice, cooked
• 1 cup chow mein noodles, coarsely broken
• 1/2 cup cashews
• 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 2-quart rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk the broth, the hoisin sauce, the ginger, the cornstarch, the red pepper, and the black pepper together. Set aside.
• Lightly coat an extra-large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until they are lightly browned. Transfer the chicken breasts from the skillet.
• Add the onion, the bok choy, the celery, the carrots, and the sweet peppers to the skillet and cook until the veggies start to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic to the veggie mixture and cook until it is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir the sauce into the veggie mixture and cook, while stirring, until the sauce has thickened and is bubbly, about 3 minutes. Stir the cooked rice and the browned chicken into the sauce mixture.
• Spoon the chicken and rice mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover the mixture with foil and bake until the casserole is bubbly and the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees F internally, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle the chow mein noodles and the cashews over the casserole and bake, uncovered, until they are golden-brown, about 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle the casserole with the green onions. Serve.
